SPECIAL ATTRACTION !
AT MONROE THEATER
!
Special attraction is announced
in this issue for the Monroe Thea
tre for Thursday and Friday
nights of this week. “Children
! of Loneliness” is the title, and the
' picture will be shown both nights
j starting at 11 o’clock. Adults only
will be admitted.
Patterned after the famous
novel, “Well of Loneliness”, the
j subject of the picture treats on
the delicate topic of those people
in this world who live in a uni
verse quite apart from the aver
age. “Men with souls of wr;.nien
—women with souls of men”—
strange love impulses, attraction
of women for their own sex, and
attraction of males for male.
Psychologists have made ex
haustive studies of the emotions
in humans that create these
strange impulses. A particularly
complete action picture with a
full-blooded plot of the psycholo
gists’ side of this subject is pre
sented in “Children of Loneli
ness”.
ADMITS STABBING
WANDSWORTH, Eng.— IThom
as Jordan of this city admitted
he stabbed Mrs . Ellen Hurley,
but said he did it because she
pulled out his false teeth and
threw them away.

THE ISLAND CITY
THE HAVANA - AMERICAN t
"TRUST" FACTORY located
above the operating Key Wcst-
Havana factory on county road at
present has opened its windows
and there are signs of activity all
about. Immediately there were.
rumors that another cigar factory
was coming here. Asa matter of
fact, the work consists of rein
forcing the concrete throughout
the building. The only near-def
inite information this column has
concerning the possibility that
another factory will come here is :
that of the Gradiaz-Annis com-;
pany, which is reported consider
ing moving here if the Key West-
Havana company is a success.
Yet, a responsible source informs
this column that it is quite un-|
likely. Whenever there are cigar
laborer troubles in Tampa, there
the rumors concerning transfer to ■
Key West spring up.
THE "PERKY" BUSINESS is
just about concluded to the satis
faction of all concerned, viz. State
Road Department, Monroe Coun
ty and R. C. Perky. After Perky
had agreed to turn over the
right-of-way for the viaducts and
roadways of the extension from
Big Pine Key to Key West on the j
Overseas Highway there was a 1
long “hitch’’ of about two months
in which plans came to a definite j
halt. SJate Road Department
wanted a fee simple Yieed to the*
right-o-way giving it entire right
over the land in question. Mr.,
Perky wanted several provisions
inserted v/ith control over some:
of the properties vested in him. .
This column understands that the
matter is finally settled and the ;
fee simple deed will shortly be 1
given the State Road Department.
The Department would have be
gun work long ago if there were
not a cloud over the title. As it
is they have moved down a great
deal of equipment to build the
extension.

CITY COUNCIL has its prob-j
lems at times. Facing the need
for increased revenue to operate
the city efficiently it voted to
continue the 80 percent cut on de- :
linquent taxes, providing current
taxes are paid in cash. An im- 1
pieesion around town is that now
not even 20 percent is being col
lected. They point out that the?
assessment basis is figured on the
1937 year, which is the lowest the
city has probably ever had. They
also point out that if the 1926 as
sessment were followed the city
would have been in that Vnuch,
more money as that assessment
was nearer the present values.
Most city assessments are figured
on that year. But the Council j
has some good, practical, econohi-1
ic minds. The average small!

LOCAL POLITICIANS were
; enthusiastic about the way Sena
tor David Elmer Ward handled
the local requests for his coopera
tion in certain bills—when they
looked at the matter in the light
: of political good sense. Waiting
; on him throughout his visit Fri
day were many city, county offi- !
■ cials and citizens committees.
Each told him what they favored,
i Senator Ward listened to all and
! promised to “do the best I can".
! the same promise he made during
his campaign here, but would not
be committed to anything. Brok
ien promises, given too quickly.
; have killed many a good political
! reputation. It now* remains to be
! seen just how well young and ap
parently sincere Mr. Ward will
work for this county in the com
ing legislature.
A RATHER IMPORTANT
, CHOICE of City Council to fill
| ihc unexpired term of Roy Ful
ford, councilman who died last
j week, will shortly be before
, Council meetings. It is up to
i Council to vote in a new' man.
There is much speculation as to
who the choice will be. There
are two factions in city council.
, On one side is lined up President
! Adams and councilmen Will Rob-
Serts and Will Monsalvatge. On
the other is Will Freeman, Jim
[Roberts and Will Doughtry. If
! the choice falls to that of either
i side it will mean that that side
will have a majority over the
other. This will be an import
ant feature of future council
meetings, as votes on the more
